Although Carol Dismore holds a Master of Science degree from Montana State University, she changed her vocation early on and worked a 36-year career as a certified public accountant. Since retiring, she keeps her hand in the game by doing the accounting for her church and for a few people she knows, just as a volunteer.
Carol also enjoys writing. Poetry is her medium of choice, and many of her poems have appeared in various periodicals. Being a stickler for precision, she favors rhythm and rhyme. Using the rhythm to enhance the poem’s subject matter, she has written rollicking sagas of her own and her father’s adventures, heartfelt tales from her own experience and from her mother’s childhood, and more recently what she calls “downloads from God,” poems that come to her in the middle of the night, unbidden.
Although she doesn’t have any dogs of her own now, she and her husband Barry dog-sit for an elderly chihuahua and a young beagle. They get their dog-fix that way.
